Yesterday I ran a backwards 100m in 19.6 and I was wondering what the conversion time to a 5k (forwards, of course) would be. I know there's calculators out there for these conversions, but I thought it would be easier just to ask. Other factors to bring into the calculation:
I was not in spikes, it was not a block start either
It was hand timed, hence only the tenth accuracy
wind was roughly 1 m/s into my back (a headwind if I was running forward)
There was no crowd cheering me on
Temp was 55 (Fahrenheit)
